With 2017 coming to a close. It's time to do the yearly tradiation for Stage48 (which now is for all the groups) So what are your Hopes, Fears, and Predictions for 2018 for BNK48?
Hopes -2nd Gen Soon -More recognized for Izuta-san -Kaimook become Center -Someone who can beat the dominance of Cherprang arise Fears -More Graduation, especially when still no 2nd gen -Jan's Osteoarthritis got worse -Arise of Anti-Fan Predictions -Mind enter the real Sembatsu rank in the next single -Delay of BNK48 Campus's opening
I expect Produce48 to be a big threat to BNK48 and every oversea sister groups. Mnet has announced the group will target international market. Also, there is possibility the roster will consist of 1 or 2 Thai members. Many newer fans are from K-pop fandom and will not be able to financially support BNK48 anymore as they spend up on Produce48.
Hopes! -Team BIII formation! -2nd gen! -the first stage will be also BIII1 Fears -more graduation before the unveiling of the theater Predictions -1st formal stage of the group
There are some Thais in K-pop agencies. It's speculated Natty, a Thai trainee of Mnet's affiliate agency, might join this show. Also, it was rumored few members of CLC, a K-pop group, would join and 1 of CLC's member is Thai.
Hopes -Team Blll formation -2nd gen formation -2nd generation stage will be "Seifuku no Me" or "Ramune no Nomikata" -LODs of the concerts on Theater -More songs on CDs
Hopes -Already came true at this point lol (faves are in BIII) -Emotional AKB songs as A-sides -2nd gen is decent and joined not because of fame LOL -Stages are properly translated. Fears -Graduation, particularly Piam and Maysa's. Predictions: -Many more graduations to come, I can see Namhom's very soon. -Single sales rise a little bit.
Hopes: BNK drama NV formation More Izurina push Kaimook Center Sales reach 200,000 Fears: A lot of 2nd gen graduations
